Objective of the Game

The object of Casino War is to have a higher card than the dealer. The game is played with six decks of cards, and each player places a bet before the cards are dealt. The dealer then deals one card to each player and one to themselves. If your card is higher than the dealer's, you win even money on your bet. If the dealer's card is higher than yours, you lose your bet. If there's a tie, you have the option to surrender and lose half your bet, or go to war.
